The COVID Blues

Stuck in my house
Can’t take out the trash
Everything’s delivered
Wearing a mask

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues

COVID one and two,
COVID three and four
And up to nineteen
Then COVID once more

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues

Got the Long COVID
And the short one too
Fourteen days
Worse than the flu

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues

A miracle cure
When I sneezed
Folks were healed
Of the disease

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues

They hooked me up
To a pipe
Watched my blood
Flow out of sight

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues

And the doctor said,
“It’s gonna be alright.”
Little did I know
I’d be a zombie tonight.

I got the COVID blues
The COVID blues
